Lately I've been having a problem with my Evo. After flashing the latest stable roms 6.1 and 6.1.1, I found my phone freezes, force closes, and reboots, then wont get past the white evo screen. Ive wiped everything using amon ra and clockwork but i keep coming back to the same issues. I even try not using Setcpu on a clean install and still have issues. I also noticed that everytime I wipe then flash, the google apps show up after my first boot, even though i never flashed the google zip file. Is my phone wiping correctly? What could be the problem?

If this ONLY happens to you when using cyanogenmod roms, then you are not alone. The exact same issue happens to me also ONLY when using CM 6.1 and CM 6.1.1. I have never had this issue with any other rom, both aosp or sense-based, except with CM 6.x roms.

Yea for some reason these last 2 releases just wont work right on my phone. Which def sucks because I love Cyanogenmod roms. Anyone have any suggestions as to why this might be happening?
Try the following:
Wipe data+cache twice
Flash sense ROM
boot
wipe data+cache twice
verify MD5's
flash CM
flash gapps
U recommend clockwork or ra
What? This title for a thread and no poop jokes? The Internet makes me sad.
Seriously, though...
I'm partial to Clockwork now because I use ROM Manager Pro. AmonRa was the one I always used on my Hero. Both are good. It's yet another "personal preference" thing.
CM6 Issues
I too have had trouble with CM 6.0 and 6.1. I flashed CM6.0 Stable, and could not get apps to install or uninstall after flashing. I tried restoring an earlier Nandroid backup of my previously working HTC Sense ROM, and still could not install/uninstall any apps. I tried clearing Market cache, fixing permissions, wiping cache, Dalvik cache, numerous reboots, and flashing earlier ND backups with no luck. I finally bit the bullet, flashed Stock RUU, and had to reroot to get phone working properly again.
Think I would have learned from above, but being flashaholic that I am, I flashed CM 6.1 when it came out. Exact same probs, and again had to reflash stock RUU and reroot.
No more Cyanogen mod for me. Nothing against CM, and it may work great on some people's EVOs, but its only caused me headaches.
Good news is I'm getting pretty damn proficient rooting phone using old-school manual adb shell/rageagainstthecage/chmod exploit method, having done it three times now (although I hope I don't find myself in this situation again).
YMMV
Me too. Tried with both clockwork and ra...no dice. Problem is, when I went back to warm, it left pieces and now even warm doesn't run correct. I tried wiping twice and clearing the dalvik too. I know it wasn't erasing everything because there would be apps that were already installed. Like it was installing to a partition, though I have never set that up.

ok i've been flashing roms for over six months and have been able to fix every issues i've ever had until now..
was running cm nightly 21, tried to update to 23 a couple weeks ago and all i got was a boot loop on the white htc evo screen. ok so i re-download the nightly, clear cache dalvik data and reflash. same boot loop occur. so i waited a few days and new nightlys appeared. so i download and tried to flash. same results with the boot loop.
i reverted back to cm nightly 21. tried to flash savage zen 2.1 kernel. reboot. same white htc evo screen boot loop. flash savage zen 2.0 with cm nightly 21 and it works flawlessly. flashed cm rc2 with savage zen 2.0 and ran flawlessly but boot loops with sz 2.1-1.0.
problem: cm nightly 23 and up (23-30), cm rc3, savage zen 0.2.1 and up, and tiamat's latest kernel (3.32?) all would install properly but when phone boots it is stuck on boot loop at the white htc evo screen.
my remedies: wipe cache davik data 1x,2x,3x to no success. used caulkins all format zip plus the wiping of cache, etc to no success. i've tried wiping and flashing with ra mon 2.2-2.3 recovery and clockworkmod 2.5-3.0.5 and still no success. i've unrooted my phone, reroot, wipe and flash and no success. i've even tried to not wipe cache/dalvik and just flashing nightlies 23+ and rc3 and still same boot loop at the htc evo screen.. worth a try since i've done everything else i could think of..
here's my system: latest radio, wimax, prl, pri, hboot.. latest everything update. hardware revision 003. baseband 2.15.00.07.28. S-off. what else..
my thoughts: cm 23 and up, savage 2.1 and up, and tiamat's latest all incorporated hdmi into their builds. i've never used nor have the ability to activate hdmi on my phone. so i'm thinking it's something to do with hdmi? every other rom from cm 21- and rc2- and sense roms seem to work perfectly fine.
i am currently running cm rc2 with savage zen 2.0.. are my days of flashing the lastest and badarse combos of cm and savage zen over? please help if anyone have any ideas and thanks in advance..

Strange indeed my friend. There have been many reports of bootlooping with cm7, and many can't recover. See the thread titled bootloops and no recovery. Its odd that older cm builds and sense work fine for you, and newer ones don't. Its interesting, your observation about the HDMI kernels. I wish I had some suggestions for you, but it appears as though you've exhausted all the things I would've suggested to you already. You've even ran ruu and rerooted. If that didn't work, I'm not sure what will...

going into recovery is fine. i've tried reflashing with ra mon 1.8, 2.2, and 2.3 recovery but still end up with the white screen boot loop. than i would switch to clockworkmod 2.5 and 3.0 and reflash the roms. they would all install fine with the recoveries saying "install from sd card complete". but when i reboot, it gets stuck on the htc screen! strange indeed..

Sounds like you tried everything before you even posted! At least you can run sense roms and older cm in the meantime, while you try to figure it out. Do other newer gingerbread builds flash and run for you? Or is it just cm7? I wish I had more to suggest, but like I said, it seems like you've covered your bases..

i've ran miks, myns, and fresh before from the sense side and all worked fine. from the gb side i've ran evolve, kings? (can't remeber right now), and cm starting from cm gingerbread 4 through 6.1.2 to cm7 nightly 21 where i got stuck. i have not try the newest gb roms outside cm. am downloading the latest from evolve now so will give it a shot.
f.y.i. to those afraid of cm roms, my current fig is rc2, sz 2.0 cfs wimax gb, with dark horse v1.0 cm7 rc2 theme and everything (minus hdmi) works flawlessly. i mean gps tracks and follows without drops, wifi works great, absolutely no issues with bluetooth, no random reboots, wimax connects quickly and doesn't drop, 3g hotspot works great, even 4g wireless hotspot works!! i swear it. tested it out the other night and it connected right away and started working. we used it on 4g for about 20 mins without drop.
if everything is working so great, why would i want to update roms? because the cm dev and team are badarse and i love their work (many thanks to you guys). plus titanium backup doesn't work...only app i use that gets fc. biggest irk though is that it just doesn't feel right not being able to flash the lastest builds..

I will also say that I had good experiences with cm. It always ran smooth for me, and as you stated, everything worked. Same with all the other recent gingerbread roms have been flawless for me too. All the boot loop and no recovery issues, take it for what its worth. To each his own. I like all roms, but ill be on sense for a little while.

From the OP ^^^^ He's wiped with calk's format all, used different recoveries, he's gone as far as unrooting and then re rooting. wiping again. He's tried everything I could think of. Reflashing recoveries(different versions), ran RUU's, re rooting....what's left?

Guys, this is all over the forums now. Something in CM is causing these major problems that people are not able to recover from. One theory is that it's causing a bad block in the internal memory, which apparently, the Evo can't recover from.
I think I got lucky when it happened to me last month, where I suddenly white screened for no reason, while running a CM ROM, and I RUU'd my way out of it, but the problem has gotten much worse, obviously.
I loved CM, but at this point, I'm not stupid enough to try and run it anymore.
I hate to sound rash, but I'd lose any CM Rom's you guys are running until the Dev's can figure this one out.
Hi,
I recently updated CM 6 to CM7 RC2 and ended up losing everything (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999511). It took me more than a day to get my apps, setting, etc. all back.
How do I "correctly" update RC2 to RC3 without going through the same sh!t again? Is there a way to do it so that everything stays the same?
Thanks
Updates within cm7 don't require any wipe. Just flash the zip file and yer off. Yeeeee haw!
Sent from my Motorola Startac
man are you sure? i cant afford to lose everything again... can i just do it through rom manager?
Why don't you make a backup to be sure? I had a system crash a few days ago and could only load CWM. After a backup and complete wipe with new rom install I recovered only the DATA and so I got my contacts, messages, apps etc back in one flow on a fresh rom.
Sent from my Desire HD
download Titanium backup from the market then "if" you do loose anything, you can put back all your programs/games/saves.
Just flash over the cm7 rc2 with rc3 or nightly without wipe.
I'm running CM7 stable and tried to install incredikernal 2.6.37.4. I wiped the Davlik cache and installed the zip. Once the phone finished booting, my touchscreen was completely unresponsive. I rebooted back into recovery and installed my old invisiblek kernal.
Any suggestions as to the problem.
Did you make sure you install the right one, gingerbread or froyo? I just installed incredikernel 2.6.37.4 GB on my device with no problems.

Yep, gingerbread version. Positive.
What screen do you have? And have you tried the incredikernel RC1?
I have also flashed the newest incredikernal on CM7 and it is working just fine for me, so I find it strange that it's not working for you.
I've been using incredikernal for a while now and have never had this problem. I'm currently on cm7 nightly 39 with incredikernal preview 3. I read about some problems with incredikernal's RC1 so maybe try preview 3?
I gave up on this kernel for a while but I keep hearing about how great it is and I want it. Tried on MIUI 1.5.20 (Gingerbread) as well, same result. I have a SLCD screen; this isn't a reason, is it?
OK, I wanted to double check on the screen. I found something before that suggested that you can look at settings to find out. I just searched and found a post that suggested I look under at the battery. Based on that post, I have Amoled.
Anything?
By no means am I new to this so I'm at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've flashed pretty much everything on my hero and now on the evo but I always go back to CM. About a week ago I wanted to flash the latest CM nightly so I booted into recovery to make a nandroid. It was taking way too long (almost 20 minutes) so I pulled the battery, rebooted to recovery, plugged in the usb cable, and mounted the phone to find out I had a 3.8gb backup. I deleted it, unmounted, screamed, wiped everything, and tried to flash the nightly. Nothing but splash screen. Booted into recovery, wiped all, flashed MikG. Good to go. Recovery, wipe, nightly. Nothing. Recovery, wipe, Evo Classic. Good to go. Anything CM. Nothing. I tried every combination of wiping, powering down, rebooting to recovery, flashing different recoveries (started with RA style, went to CWM, RA 2.3), tried flashing with the Mason kernel. I had to nandroid back to an older unofficial CM7 nightly backup. This has never happened to me before. I can flash Sense but I can't flash CM to save my life. I'm a little worried with Deck Reloaded coming out that it'll be a no go for me. Haven't tried Deck 1.3d yet so not sure if it's CM specific or AOSP ROMs. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

I reached out to ropodope and he hit it on the head. He told me that I had corrupted one of my main partitions. His solution was to RUU back to unrooted stock to repartition and format every one of the partitions like when I first got the phone. It did the trick. It wasn't bad because I was S-OFF. I flashed an old RUU PC36IMG from HBOOT, booted and updated everything while stock, flashed Smelkus 4.2 PC36IMG from HBOOT, nandroided, wiped, flashed CM, and I was good to go again. No need to re-root thanks to S-OFF. I wanted to share this in case anyone else runs into this problem.
